It's a magical place!!!

Cape Town is one of the most beautiful places in the world! The panorama with table mountain in the background is absolutely stunning. There are great beaches, parks, lots of outdoor activity like walking up mountains, paragliding etc. You can go wine tasting in nearby Stellenbosch and enjoy great food. I could go on and on but best you experience it yourself...

Insider Tip:Attend a concert in Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden.

A visit is highly recommended

The city is amazing, mountains and ocean at the same place. The atmosphere that this town offers is unique in the world. There are a lot of place to visit even if you have just few days but don't run, enjoy the city itself, take a coffee in the center or at Waterfront, visit the peninsula and stay some hours with penguins, they'll make you feel in peace with the universe!

Insider Tip:Pay attention in the center, in particular close to market or train station, a lot of people ask money and they are oppressive, be hard and don't be scared otherwise they follow you at home!

Cape Town

This city is beautiful and it has everything that a visitor would want. There are activities for everyone. Scenery that is magnificent. The people and the culture is amazing. The is a metropolis and developed city for those seeking comfort in those amenities. There are coasts, natural parks, museums, villages, with so much availability to those who visit.

Insider Tip:Mother Africa is one of the most know places to eat and it is worth all the hype it receives. I am not one for very popular places, however this is a definite must for all that come to Cape Town.

I loved Table Mountain!!! I would go back again & again...

My highlight of the trip was Table Mountain. I also took the sightseeing bus tour & it was perfect for me. I was in Cape Town only few days, especially to visit an old friend. I spent more time at the waterfront & I loved it.

Arguably South Africa’s most popular destination among travellers, Cape Town is an unusual blend of a busy city centre towered by elegant skyscrapers, pristine beaches adorned by bronzed sun worshippers and a mountain which is the showpiece and stands proudly in the middle of it all.
